The Rugby Championship kicks off for 2017 this weekend, starting with old foes New Zealand and Australia facing off in a match that doubles as the first of the three-match Bledisloe Cup series. So where will the two matches be played, what time do they kick off, and who will feature?

Unbeaten fighter Floyd Mayweather has promised to repay any losses talk-show host Jimmy Kimmel suffers if he loses his fight against Conor McGregor.

Bayliss said although there was never a good time to be sidelined through injury, winter was better than any other.

Not long back from a suspension for a ride in Sydney during the autumn carnival, Bayliss had been in sparkling form.

He rode a career-high five winners at Geelong last Tuesday and a double at Pakenham last Thursday night.

Those seven winners were all for the Lindsay Park team of David and Ben Hayes and Tom Dabernig for whom Bayliss rode his first Group One winner aboard Redkirk Warrior in the Newmarket Handicap at Flemington in March.
